NMEA VTG Sentence
The NMEA VTG sentence provides the actual course and speed relative to the ground.
Structure and Example:
$GPVTG,p.p,T,q.q,M,r.r,N,s.s,K,u*hh<CR><LF>
$GPVTG,054.7,T,034.4,M,005.5,N,010.2,K*33
VTG sentence defined:
VTG = Course over ground and ground speed
p.p course over ground
T degrees True
q.q course over ground
M degrees Magnetic
r.r speed over ground
N knots
s.s speed over ground
K km/hr
U mode indicator (A = Autonomous, D = Differential, E = Estimated)
*hh<CR><LF>
Note that, as of the 2.3 release of NMEA, there is a new field in the VTG sentence at the end
just prior to the checksum. Receivers that don't have a magnetic deviation (variation) table
built in will null out the Magnetic track made good.
NMEA GLL Sentence
The NMEA GGL sentence provides 2D position data.
Structure and Example:
$GPGLL,ddmm.mmmmmmm ,a, dddmm.mmmmmmm ,b,hhmmss.ss,S,I*cc<CR><LF>
$GPGLL,5708.7104685,N,00217.1169613,W,062859.00,A,D*72
GLL sentence defined:
GLL = Geographic position - Latitude and Longitude
ddmm.mmmmmmm
a
dddmm.mmmmmmm
b
hhmmss.ss
S
I mode indicator (A = Autonomous, D = Differential, E = Estimated, M = Manual, S =
Simulator, N = data Not valid)
*cc<CR><LF>
